Liberal activists against people of faith

Stanley Kurtz notes some additional evidence that the Democrats are using a sort of religious test against Bush's judicial nominees.

Bob Novak has a column today on the opposition research being done against the president’s judicial nominees. Novak gives us an important quote in passing, without quite noting what he’s got. When asked why her organization was going after these nominees, NARAL president Nancy Keenan said that her organization was concerned about “out of touch theological activists” becoming judges. Now that’s interesting. I thought opponents of the president’s nominees were only concerned about judicial philosophy, not religious belief. Do you suppose msm will now come down on Keenan for injecting religion into politics? Will msm now acknowledge that the president’s nominees are indeed being targeted because of their faith? Will pigs fly?

As we've noted earlier, activist groups such as NARAL and PFAW are driving Democratic opposition to these judicial nominees. So it isn't enough to say that individual Democratic senators might claim some faith of their own as evidence that they aren't targeting judicial nominees, at least in part, based on hostility to people of faith.
